Ajla Tomljanovic was just a few points away from her first third round in Melbourne, but the world no. 2 was too much for her in their three-set showdown, where as Nick Kygrios was just a point away (twice) from being sent packing by Ugo Humbert but prevailed in an epic five-set battle. Day 3 also saw two top 10 seeds fall on the womens side, while tournament favourites sailed through to round 3, and on the mens side, the other Australians all had quick defeats.
